Okay. This post is almost late (but isn't...45 minutes to spare!) and I'm way distracted. Dude, it's the Winter Olympics! I've been watching these awesome Vancouver games and have bags under my eyes to prove it. Even though I'm on the West Coast getting the delayed feed and know all the results via Twitter, I'm still lovin' it.

I planned to make these cookies yesterday but called my dentist about a sensitive tooth. Before I knew it, I was sprawled out on the dentist chair listening to soft rock and sitting through the 10-year long injection of Novocaine. Twice. Upper and lower left side of face. And then I got three filling-type buccals (I think that is what I got) to cover exposed nerve endings. Oh, my sorry gums. You literally cause me pain.

Anyway, I skipped the store (for the wheat germ) and took a nap. When I woke up, I swear, someone had come into my house and hit me on the side of the face during my nap. Or, I was on Jerry Springer and I got beat up by some woman who thought I was making eyes on her man...or woman...or transvestite man/woman. Or, I was in my new favorite Winter Olympic sport Snowboard Cross and ate it. Thus, no cookies yesterday, and just a handful of Tylenol instead.

So, as I watch the ladies short program tonight, I made a few of these Honey Wheat Cookies. Taking photos between programs and during the Ski Cross. Yes, nothing like eating cookies while athletes give it their all.

The cookies? Delicious. And they have wheat germ so I'm going to have a bunch for breakfast. ;)

Ugh - my teeth are so sensitive! The other day, my dentist said if the fluoride treatment didn't work, there were some other things they could do (instead of going straight to a root canal - ack!) - maybe that's what he was talking about!

Too much (dental) information - or... is that "inflammation"? :) I'm so glad these were "soft" cookies, weren't you? And I hoped you spike them with something to get you through. The look fantastic - the perfect dental diversion - along with the Games!

Hope you are feeling better! Dental work is the worst. I do love eating while athletes compete though. These are never something I would make on my own, but they have gotten such good reviews that maybe I will try.

This is why I was so glad, when I last had dental surgery (admittedly, getting my wisdom teeth out), that my doctor said, "Make sure you take pain medication before the novacaine wears off." Otherwise I would have been crying it hurt so bad.

I want to eat these cookies while I watch the Olympics! I finally got into the Olympics, but I need to stress-eat while I watch or I would feel even worse about my body in comparison to the athletes.

The cookies look perfect...my teen boys like to stack them up like this on their kneecaps with their legs propped up to hold books when they are studying. Your stack reminds me of that. I loved these, they were the perfect match with a cup of tea as the lemon and honey were built right into the cookie. What a deal!
